5608 Gulf Dr

Sun Plaza West is a low-rise, concrete-framed Gulf-front condominium completed in 1981 and organized over three stories. The complex is composed mainly of two-bedroom, two-bath units with open living/dining plans, eat-in kitchens, and features such as solid wood cabinets, stone or quartz counters, walk-in closets, ceiling fans, and in-unit washers and dryers in many homes. Interiors emphasize tile or wood-look porcelain floors, large windows and sliding doors that open to private screened lanais or balconies with direct Gulf or pool views. Common-area infrastructure includes an elevator, secure lobby/entry, under-building covered parking with assigned spaces, and substantial locked storage rooms for beach gear. Grounds and exterior elements reflect a beach-focused program: private beach access, outdoor showers, irrigation and lighting, tennis and pickleball courts, a heated community pool with pool bath and sauna, sidewalks, and lush tropical landscaping. Practical features include hurricane shutters, rain gutters and private mailboxes. The building permits seasonal rental activity and has a mix of full-time residents and investor owners; concierge-style services are limited but the property offers maintenance of shared amenities and assigned storage. Located in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island, the complex sits within walking distance of shops, restaurants and the island trolley, offering an island lifestyle centered on beach access and outdoor recreation.
